Fairest (The Lunar Chronicles, #3.5)

It's official, Levana is bat shit crazy! Off her damn rocker. Needs to be locked up. Insane. Think that about sums it up.
I'm actually really torn about how I feel about this book. I went into it thinking I was going to get a backstory and then in turn understand why Levana is the way she is. And while I did get the reasoning behind it I still don't feel she is justified in any way and I absolutely do not feel sorry for her. Instead my heart actually hurts for those who have been so unfortunate to ever cross paths with the crazy woman. She feels no remorse for anything that she's done and suffers from constantly wanting more and more, fueling her cruelty.
Is this story a necessary read to fully enjoy the rest of the series? No I don't think so. But I did fully enjoy being inside Levana's twisted mind nonetheless. It's a great addition for any Lunartic and Marissa Meyer's writing is superb as always!

Completely agree with your review! No spoilers, but the backstory given was completely unexpected. Not one ounce of sympathy given!

I will admit I did feel in the beginning that I would feel a little sorry for her. But she just continued to get worse and worse. She kept saying she wasn't like her sister but her actions proved otherwise. I feel so sorry for her husband. Like it made me sick.
